=Other Highlights:=

*Youth Quest

==Lentil Soup==
* Lentils
* Onions 
* Garlic
* Mushrooms
* Walmart Marketside Veggie Super blend bad (brussel sprouts, kohlrabi, napa cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and kale
* Better Then Bouillon Vegetable Base (vegan)
* Cumin
* Black Pepper  

For the BIG batch I used two bags of lentils, maybe five or six onions, a 8oz gar of garlic and most of a Costco size container of the vegetable base.  I measured the cumin with my heart, I basically added a bunch cuz that was a giant pot. If cooking at home cumin goes a long way. 

Lentils, onions, garlic, and cumin are the most important elements to the dish.  Always go for a flavorful cooking liquid.

==Chicken Soup from the mind of Alianora== 
* Better than bullion chicken base
* cooked chicken, 
* egg noodles, 
* carrots, 
* salt and pepper

=Comments and Impressions:=
Queen's Prize is a wonderful Calontir event!  There were ~30 entrants (most of us first-timer-ever at QP), nearly twice that many "judges"--though "advisors" would be a better term.  I had three Laurels sit down with me and chat about my embroidery, getting lots of good advice--and, I hope, making new friends.  Even got in some "judging" of my own:  That meant giving feedback on a research paper: what worked, what might improve it some; drawing out what the intended audience was, what the take-aways should be; but also geeking out with the writer on the wonderfulness of the topic 🙂  Got a chance to wander around the hall and see what other people were doing--from pickles to knives to saffron-dyed cloth to a book of arms of Calontir royalty dating back to before we were a principality.  And every entrant took home a prize.  I got a huge bag of embroidery floss in more colors than I can describe.  This is so characteristic of Calontir:  Everyone, even experts, bent on making everyone else, even novices, feel special and welcome.  Warm & tingly!  Thank you all!   --Shoshanah bas Nachman

 My wife and I had a great time at Queen's prize yesterday! It was her first event and my 4th and only my second A+S competition. I recieved alot of wonderful feedback from all the people attending and some hopefully useful advice on bladework from my table mate Caleb who ended up winning the queen's favorite. I felt before the judging that I was luring myself into a false sense of security and a more expert and critical eye of the judges might be a less glowing view. I was surprised. The judges told me that although I said I was a novice they REALLY judged my entry at an intermediate level. It was very encouraging to hear that my craftsmanship is at a higher level than my hyper critical eye expected. The only points I lost were in documentation which was honestly expected. Thank you everyone who attended for lifting me up and for giving my wife a great first event. - Alex D.

There are so many things to say to people for helping with and attending Queens Mayhem, but all I can really say is... Wado!  Donadagohvi, Moon

 Many thanks to Alianora and the other 2 ladies helping her in the kitchen. (One of whom it was her first experience with the SCA) -Bob R.

Queen's (prize)/(melees &) Mayhem yesterday was absolutely lovely.  There was time and space to see and enjoy every A&S entry. I understand that the melees provided quite a satisfying amount of mayhem.  This truly was a tourney where everyone wins!  HRH Ylva
